Bug in Graphical Network Configuration???

what I mean by this is my ISP gave me their new DNS address so that I
can configure in my box and that's what I did. I didn't gave DNS
address, instead I set the new primary and secondary DNS servers in my
network cofiguration.

It was not out of sequence. What I did was simply changed the old
primary and secondary DNS address to new one. Reactivated the network.
All of a sudden my hostname is changed together with that.

My question is still remains:
Does this utility just wipes out everything and rewrites without
considering what is already been configured?
